Cigar News: Fonseca Cubano Exclusivo – Sneak Peek!

S.A.G. Imports announces the release of an all-new cigar called the Fonseca Cubano Exclusivo. Billed as a full-bodied box-pressed cigar, Exclusivo will be a departure from Fonseca’s more light (mild) cigar offerings.

The Fonseca Cubano Exclusivo will be made at S.A.G.’s MATASA factory in the Dominican Republic. Unlike Fonseca’s other full-bodied offerings, this particular cigar will retain the standard Fonseca band. (shown above) This band is more commonly associated with the brand’s milder offerings.
